    Dressing vintage in the workplace

    I FINALLY have a proper, stable, full time office job after working in casual (read: easy to hire, easier to fire) hospitality jobs as a barista/waitress and being unemployed for the better part of this year. I'm relieved to find out we have the option to buy work shirts (either polos or...

    Tattoos.

    Tattoos hurt. Tattoos hurt a lot. Regardless of whether or not it's a good design, well executed and well placed, bearing with the pain of receiving your tattoo says a lot about a person and their strength. I can only applaud them for that. Let them beat themselves up over the bad tattoos, if...

    Do ladies really have to dress old & frumpy after a certain age...?

    This made me chuckle a bit. My boyfriend is 34 and a year or two ago this happened to him, he finally found a style that resonated with him and everyone elses opinions could go shove it. His style? Punk. With a little rockabilly edge but punk for the most part. I sometimes wonder if he'll...

    Odd State Laws!

    There is a law here (Perth, Australia) which is along the lines of "if you're digging a hole and a police officer orders you to stop, he must give you his horse" I'm guessing it's left over from the gold rush days. It's always amusing to watch people try their luck and immediately start...

    In Praise of FL Lurkers

    I lurked this site for months before I signed up. It helps you get a feel for the place. The etiquette of the FL is worlds apart from those of many other forums. I still regularly lurk now I'm a member too. I wasn't actually going to reply to this thread...

    Vintage style while doing chemo ?

    Perhaps you could change that? Maybe blogging about your experience and tips and tricks you've picked up will help other women in the future in your situation, and give you something to do and keep your spirits up when you're not feeling so great. All the best for starting your chemo, my...

    The Ultimate Blonde Thread

    Thanks for all the photos everyone! I'm hoping we can get quite a blonde database going on here. Kim Novaks shade...that's an ash am I correct? I think that's what I'll be aiming toward. I find red/orange tones tend to wash me out. Binkie, you really do know your blondes! Is it a passion...

    The Ultimate Blonde Thread

    Cherry Lips, I knew I could count on you! Those are fantastic pictures. It's harder to see the shade in black and white so colour photos are a real treat. Would you say a platinum or light ash is most vintage accurate? Like Binky said it seems close to no colour at all seems the way to go...

    The Ultimate Blonde Thread

    Gentlemen prefer blondes I'm currently working my way toward a platinum blonde and have tried (but failed) to find a decent source of vintage blondes and their varying shades. I figured this would be a great place to start. So ladies, do you know where I could find such a place? do you have...

    Nothing but Seamed Stockings

    The thing that gets at me about AA is their unnecessarily sleazy advertising. Why must I be exposed to breasts (And then some) when all I want to buy is socks? I'm definitely all for a company that doesn't outsource it's manufacturing to east asian factories with workers under the age of 10!
